It is a way to identify a character, a feeling, a story. What did you feel when you saw Darth Vader for the first time on screen? He’s shrouded in white, blinding fog, emerging out from the background into the foreground wearing all black and it’s reflective and he’s imposing and he’s terrifying and he’s... Continue Reading →
The Form is a Book, the Art is Horror
If I showed you this cover, what would you think? As someone who has been reading books since the end of 2022, mostly horror, the cover of any book is important. You may not read the back first but the cover will tell YOU whether or not it’s worth investing. And like with eating, we... Continue Reading →

Horror Movies that Shifted the Landscape
This was mildly inspired by a recent Kill Count from Dead Meat on the movie 28 Days Later. It was something that was mentioned about how this movie changed the “undead” or zombie genre, even though it isn’t a zombie film but the antagonists were able to RUN. Zombies, walkers, the undead, they don’t run.... Continue Reading →

Seasonal Horror
We’re still in summer and yet I’m itching for fall. Mostly because I need my sweatshirt and sweater weather to come NOW cos it’s been so hot. But with sweater weather, I thought of some seasonal horror. I wonder why seasonal horror works so well. It’s a niche genre, yes, I feel like we get... Continue Reading →

It’s been a minute. I have thoroughly enjoyed my break and I’m gonna ease back into writing for the blog. I will say that this break has given me time to come up with new ideas/content and watched the most films I’ve watched this whole year so far at a time. But while watching some... Continue Reading →
When Horror Focuses on Kids
I did a post a while ago about children & horror, it was an interesting topic and well, I was reading through it and I kinda want to do part 2 but maybe a lightning round of even more movies that would/could be discussed more. I really focused more on horror media towards a kid... Continue Reading →
Favorites: Ranking ANOES Franchise
Overdue for a long, long time. The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is my favorite franchise in the genre. There are only 9 films under its belt and a tv series Freddy’s Nightmares that will be excluded out of this list for the fact that it is a series. Finally, I am going to rank... Continue Reading →
